(jig)saw the real me

2018

You and I are just not meant to be. 
We are not two peas in a pod,
We are not from the same puzzle set.

You belong to the children,
I,
I belong with those who won’t 

tear me apart. 

(Jig)saw me in half

You and I 
are from the same puzzle set.
What puzzles me is the fact
that you don’t see it.
